Snorkeling And Fauna Observation At Las Tintoreras Islet

Unfortunately, I had a poor experience with this tour operator. Communication through WhatsApp was confusing and difficult after booking a couple tours with them. Start time of both tours kept being changed. I had booked a 1030am snorkel tour to Las Tintoreas which was still showing on my TripAdvisor booking as the confirmed time. Forgot they had moved it up to 930am a week before the tour. As a result I missed the pick up. Ultimately, this was my fault but most upsetting is that when I sent them a message immediately after seeing that I missed the tour asking if i could reschedule for later in the day or for another day, they simply ignored my text, kept the money I had paid and left me searching for a different tour operator. The tour I had done with them the day before kayaking at Tintoreas and snorkeling at Concha de Perla was also pretty underwhelming with a very inexperienced tour guide. Luckily the rest of the tours I experienced while on Isabella with a couple of other tour companies turned out to be wonderful.

Great and helpful guidance. Beautiful places we went to. Also the snorkeling was amazing and breathtaking

Only 2 instead of the described 3 hours without any explanation. Only some hundred meters walking on Las Tintoreros instead of the 1.4 km circuit. That is almost 70 USD for a 5 minute boat ride to the island and then about an hour of unimpressive group snorkeling very close to the harbor. With 16 people on the boat (and two other groups going at almost the same time) it is more than 1000 USD for two hours... what a moon price...

The company picked us up from the pier and dropped our bags at our accommodation whilst we waited for the others ro arrive on the bus at the pier, which was great. Julio was also amazing and we saw a number of different fish and a few sharks (no penguins though due to the season) I've removed a star as the tour is advertised as ending at 14.30 and unfortunately we'd been dropped back at the accommodation by 12.30

This was a great way to see a lot of the popular wildlife all at once. The guide and the snorkeling were awesome.

SOOOO MUCH FUN! We got real lucky with the weather. Saw the last penguin on Tintoreras and a family of blue foot boobies! The walk was magically beautiful. Sea lions & iguanas there. And then snorkeling in the bay was INCREDIBLE. Our guide was awesome and took whoever wanted to go to a part of the bay where there were sharks sleeping, saw multiple sharks swimming and we saw a Manta Ray. Lots of beautiful fishes. Was a dope experience. 10/10 would recommend this company.

This tour was the perfect way to experience the incredible wildlife of Isabela Island in just a couple of hours! We started with a relaxed boat ride and saw sea lions, penguins, blue-footed boobies, and pelicans. Then we took a short walk to Las Tintoreras to see white-tipped reef sharks. The team provided water, a snack, and all snorkeling gear including wetsuits (requested ahead of time). The guided snorkeling was excellent we saw sea turtles, stingrays, and many fish. The experience was smooth, safe, and well-paced. Highly recommend for a short but unforgettable wildlife tour!

We really enjoyed this short tour lead by our very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, Sandra. The tour featured a nice balance of viewing wildlife from the boat, followed by a very interesting walk around a small island, and concluding with some enjoyable snorkelling. The guide and boat crew were all very pleasant and helpful.

Admin for the whole trip was great. WhatsApp messages explaining when the pickup was etc. just 200 percent. The trip itself was very well run. The local guide was friendly, very informative and made the trip. We saw many of the local inhabitants, and then the swim was very well run with the guide taking us through a few tunnels gauges where we were swimming with the sharks and sea lions. What an experience. The walk over the island was also very inland the guide again was very informative. After the swim where they provided flippers they also provided a towel and a biscuit. Overall a very well run and organised trip. Well recommended.

For a half day trip, this tour packed in so much. The slow boat ride delivered sightings of penguins, sea lions, rays and turtles within minutes. The short walk over the lava fields gave us views of the inlet where the turtles and white-tipped sharks come to bask. There were also brown iguanas nesting. The snorkelling got us in close contact with seals, turtles, penguins and sharks. Our guide was very informative and constantly spotting things of interest. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Our guide Peter was excellent with great passion and knowledge of the wildlife and geology. By far the best snorkelling we've ever done, with our guide helping us to find every animal we were hoping to see and we even got lucky with a feeding frenzy with seals and both black and white tip sharks. Lots of sea turtles and rays. The walk on the island exceeded expectations, despite much of the path being shut for iguana breeding season. All only a short 5min boat ride from the town!

Tintoreras was the 3rd tour I booked with this agency but the first one I took chronologically. I booked it for the afternoon of the day of my arrival, and it was as I expected, very chill half day, not too long not too tiring. It was a wonderful way to set off my Isabela adventure, Sebastian from the agency was welcoming and friendly, and he gave me all the information I needed, and the guide - also Sebastian, but a different one, was charismatic and charming, he was very knowledgeable, and it showed how much he loves the place and appreciative and respectful of nature so I was very impressed and I felt in very good hands. I was extremely happy with the tour and operation, and the boat crew as well was lovely. Just a great afternoon.

We did 3 tours with Galapagos Native tours; Tintoretas, Tunnels and Sierra Negra. All were amazing, but for us the best one was Tintoreras! Snorkeling with many sharks, turtles, rays, even a penguin. Tito the guide was the best. Tunnels was also very cool and so many turtles from very close, Sierra Negra is a nice hike (+/- 5 hours in total, easy to medium level) with beautiful surroundings. Everything was very well arranged by Sandra.

Great kayaking and snorkeling location with sightings of penguins, turtles, sharks. Expert patient guide. Welll organised and supported by Katherine.

Fernando Gil Moscoso from NO SIGNAL is a very good guide for local tours! I can only highly recommend him for this! He and his team gave us a very good insight into the flora and fauna of the island! We booked another tour for the very next day! I would highly recommend this tour as an initial introduction!

The tour was very well organized and the guide knew a lot to tell. We have seen penguins and blue-footed boobies, sea turtles, rays and sharks. Approx. 3 h were just right for the program.

Excellent tour I recommend Thank you very much for the experience I could see pinGuinos, manta rays and amazing scenery.
